India is a country with a rich history of diverse people, culture and language that is over a thousand years old. In traditional Indian joint families, it is tradition to feed kids earlier in the evening, then send them to their grandparents (Nana, Nani, Dada, Dadi) to hear stories while their mothers cooked food for the family.
I am a grandfather and have two grandchildren. We live within a 20 minute driving distance of our grandchildren and this gives us an opportunity to see them frequently. Whenever we eat together, my granddaughter asks me to tell her a story. She loves to hear the life stories of Ram, Krishna or even stories about me. This gave me the inspiration to start a podcast to tell stories about India, it’s history, culture and religion. I thought there would be no better time to start it than during Navratri.
I plan to tell stories that will be amusing, recreational and also help the listener learn about India. My granddaughter Adhya will join me in the podcast and ask questions while listening to the stories. I hope other children will enjoy these stories as my granddaughter does.

Holi: A Festival of Colors (Rerun of episode 8 of season 1)
Holi is the festival of colors that Hindus celebrate on Falgun poornima, the last day of the last month of the year according to Hindu calendar. Holi is a two day festival, the day when people play with colors and the day before when people make a bonfire or Holika The lighting of the bonfire represents Holika and the burning of wood represents the purification of evil. The festival of colors shows us that irrespective of religion, race, skin color or other differences, we all are humans. Holi is not just a festival of colors or a celebration of the victory of good against evil, it is the beginning of a new year and spring.
